Sketching around

Mini-challenge #1 is up over at the Counterfeit Kit Challenge site and I was delighted to see this gorgeous sketch for us to use. So pretty with the banner at the top and the long banner shapes across the page. So much room for interpretation in this one.

I decided to turn it 90° and use it pretty much as it came. I liked the idea of the blocks of colour and even the colours of those blocks as well as the smaller hanging banner.

I chose some bright colours from my kit and went for it. Once I'd made up the base of the layout, finding photos to match proved a little tricker, but in the end I just went with some happy shots of our Alpine holiday when we learnt to play golf.

I was really happy to find a way to use of some of my pretty tickets because the layout only needed a tiny bit of journalling.

I have seen some of the others' layouts from the DT and you are going to want to check them ALL out - just divine. I will be playing around with this sketch again I think taking some of the ideas they had into my creations.

I'm hoping to get some more from my kit done in the next few days as I've been a bit busy on some secret stuff! Shhhh.... Watch this space.

This is pretty and fun and I love that you've used washi tape to just tape things down. I had thought of doing that but just couldn't make it look casual enough and proper at the same time. Great page from that sketch!

First of all, I enjoy seeing your blog banner change on a regular basis - always like to see your photos. Secondly, I love how you made this sketch your own. Beautiful colors and that flower banner is so lovely.
